In Chivas USA’s Head Coach Jose Luis Real’s first SuperClásico at the StubHub Center the match did not end the way that both he and the team were expecting, as the Goats fell 1-0 to cross-hall rival the LA Galaxy in MLS’ Week 16.

Even though the results were not in favor of the Goats, the team performance spoke otherwise. Chivas USA gave the Galaxy a run for their money, making them struggle to get into the Red-and-White area and fighting until the last minute to get the equalizer.

“It was exciting to face Bruce Arena’s Galaxy in a stadium like this one. It should be something that motivates any trainer. I am excited that I had this opportunity, although, I am not satisfied because the results were not favorable, but I am sure that Chivas is taking the desired path.”

With the two weeks that Real has working with the group, there has been an obvious improvement from how the team stood in previous games. But aside the team’s performance in Sunday’s game, Real believes there is still a lot of work to be done.

“I believe that something should be noticeable,” said Jose Luis Real Casillas. “I have been working with the team for just two weeks. This is a team that is better than what the results show. In the first half we speculated a lot but in second half we played like we have been training. The team from the second half is the team we want to see throughout the full 90 minutes.”

Chivas USA will have Monday off, but will return to training on Tuesday morning ahead of their MLS Week 16 match against the New England Revolution set for Saturday, June 29 at the StubHub Center.
